Cybersecurity and NIS2
QualiWare gives you a clear, structured way to manage cybersecurity risks, documentation, and audits, helping you meet NIS2 and other global cybersecurity requirements.
Keeping up with cybersecurity requirements
The NIS2 Directive introduces stricter cybersecurity obligations across critical and essential sectors — from energy, finance and healthcare to public administration and digital infrastructure across the EU.
For many organizations, the hardest part is knowing where to begin:
mapping responsibilities, understanding the new requirements, and building the right documentation framework.
Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to 2% of global turnover and greater exposure to cyber threats.
While NIS2 sets the benchmark for cybersecurity governance in Europe, similar frameworks exist worldwide, including the U.S. CIRCIA, the U.K.’s NIS Regulations, and Australia’s SOCI Act.
All share the same goal: to strengthen resilience, risk management, and incident response in critical sectors.

The Cost of Non-Compliance
Failing to meet cybersecurity and compliance requirements can be costly under NIS2 and similar frameworks, including the U.S. CIRCIA, the U.K. NIS Regulations, and Australia’s SOCI Act.
Without a structured system in place, your organization risks:
Financial penalties: Fines of up to 2% of global turnover under NIS2 and comparable sanctions in other regions
Increased exposure: Heightened vulnerability to cyberattacks, data breaches, and ransomware
Operational inefficiency: Time-consuming manual tracking that diverts focus from core activities
Reputational damage: Loss of customer and stakeholder trust after compliance failures or public incidents
With QualiWare, you can avoid these risks by managing cybersecurity and compliance frameworks in one connected workspace.
Such a system must be so user-friendly and intuitive that people actually want to use it. That’s where all our rules for how we should perform our work are stored.Charlotte Helsted, Quality Manager, Danish Decommissioning
What is the NIS2 Directive
What Is the NIS2 Directive?
The NIS2 Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2555) is the European Union’s updated cybersecurity law, designed to raise the overall level of cybersecurity resilience across all Member States.
Key highlights:
Sets minimum requirements for cybersecurity risk management and incident reporting across the EU
Expands coverage to more sectors — including “essential” and “important” entities such as energy, transport, healthcare, digital infrastructure, and public administration
Introduces stricter penalties, stronger supervision, and new governance requirements at board level
What it means for your organization
If your organization operates in a covered sector, you must identify and manage cybersecurity risks, report major incidents promptly, and maintain transparent documentation, including for your supply chain.
EU Member States were required to implement NIS2 by 17 October 2024, meaning compliance obligations are now in effect.
The Directive places greater emphasis on governance, accountability, and audit readiness, making cybersecurity a strategic management priority, not just an IT responsibility.
QualiWare can help you meet these requirements with a structured platform for risk management, documentation, and audit tracking.
